Headwind

by K.K. Brees

Professor Katrin Nissen is recalled to service in the OSS in the early days of WWII and finds herself Winston Churchill's last hope to stop the Nazis before they reach Norway. Not your average spy, Katrin enlists the help of family to complete her mission and must survive an encounter with a high-ranking SS Colonel as well as a double agent who's out for nobody but himself. The eternal struggle of good against evil gets a fresh telling in this inspiring and heartwarming story of determination, courage, and the indomitable triumph of the human spirit.

Interesting account of a female spy in Denmark during World War II. I hadn't known much about the Danish involvement in the war before reading this book.
